England were dealt a tough blow in the opening stages of the competition when they were beaten by Pakistan in a match that really could have gone either way towards the end of it. England lost a couple of key wickets in quick succession just as the tide seemed to be turning and Pakistan deserve credit for their breakthrough.

This hasn’t been enough to affect England’s price at the top of the market and they are trading around a 2/1 listing to lift the trophy at the end of the tournament. If they are able to course correct and put together a better attack with the ball than they showed against Pakistan - they let their opponents rack up 375 runs in 50 overs - they should be able to be competitive throughout the end.

The bookmakers also list England at an 8/11 listing in order to actually wind up in the final so that’s an interesting price on a de facto each-way option if you feel like hedging your bets.

Typically, a longer odds side emerges throughout the tournament and winds up going a bit further than they should based on the momentum that they’ve been able to build up through the process. This time around there are some really decent prices out there on a lot of sides who could plausibly win the tournament but aren’t necessarily favoured to do so over this period.
